      Heā€™s right though, some of the nonsense I saw on twitter about him was ridiculous.

      One of my fav ever Liverpool players and Iā€™m still so gutted we let him go.

      Just read his comments. Sorry but heā€™s a clown if he really thinks people are going to believe he had to leave because some section of the ā€œfansā€ abused him on social media.
      Dejan Lovren took more abuse than probably most LFC players and he never named it as an excuse to leave. Does Gini really believe he wonā€™t be abused by PSG fans if he doesnā€™t have a good game? Or maybe the giant money bags that get delivered to his house will make it easier to take?

      I understand players not wanting to admit they moved for the money, but why do they have to treat supporters like mugs and come up with the stupidest excuses??
      Just say you wanted a new challenge and your new club gives you a chance to do just that, then move on.

      Wow. Iā€™m shocked that Gini has taken this path not a very noble one for a lad whoā€™s worn the armband. Always loved him as a player but donā€™t think he needs to go down this route to masquerade that he jumped for the extra Euros.

      Quote from the Sunday Telegraph.

      Paris Saint Germain midfielder Gini Wijnaldum says he "didn't feel loved or appreciated" by FSG and fans on social media when leaving Liverpool.

      He got ripped on social media constantly - so I can see why he said that.

      On FSG - the contract obviously wasnā€™t good enough for him so I guess thatā€™s why he didnā€™t feel love

      Club legend indeed and that's how he should be remembered

      He's not the first and won't be the last ex player to say things post Liverpool we disagree with. No need for us to be sensitive about it though. What he said is not exactly insulting.

      So that was the big reveal of Gini's earth shattering revelations?

      Fucks sake Gini, grow a pair lad.

      Not sure why anyone is playing the sensitivity card.

      Heā€™s acting like heā€™s the only player that got blamed for losses. FFS Bobby Firmino has been almost chased out of town, Sadio Mane has been chopped up and spit out and those are just a couple examples from last season. So thereā€™s a subset of muppets on Twitter that said mean things to youā€¦.sorry, when the price of admission is free you are going to let in some idiots. You got your big money move and you got the send off of a legendā€¦.take it and be happy and move on without trying to sling mud.

      If youā€™re a pro and get upset by what social media says, maybe social media isnā€™t for you, doesnā€™t matter what you do as a pro, there will be negative stuff online.

      Seems a bit weak on Gini's part, although there was no shortage of sh*t being said about him. Always seems to be the case if a player is slow to extend their contract - people saying they aren't trying on the pitch etc. One of the problems of last season is that the real fans at the games - and we have probably the most supportive fans of of any big club in Europe - weren't there to drown out the internet noise.

      Shame Gini has left the club, the vast majority of fans appreciated his efforts on the pitch.

      He had good days snd got praise, and bad days he got criticised. Happens in just about every job, snd every walk of life.
      Grow the F**k up, and take your pay day from PSG.

      I thought it was going to be something like FSG royally shafted him, made a derisory contract offer and didn't make him feel wanted, but no it is what was said on social media that he took issue with? Jeeez...get a grip!

      The man was racially abused on Twitter because some people thought he wasnā€™t putting enough effort into playing for us last season


      Do you really not think that footballers are under pressure ? Just read through social media and to see what things get said about players

      Yes there were some posts on Twitter last season.


      This is a good podcast


      https://twitter.com/theanfieldwrap/status/1419716143091126274?s=21


      The whole Twitter social media fanbase is toxic

      Yon can spot the toxic ones a mile away - they mainly have a fan page of one player , mainly are from foreign lands and mainly have FSGOut in their bio

      Sadly you are always going to get a minority of idiots on social media who are loud and abusive and  feel they can get away with saying anything, which it is why it is not a reliable barometer of supporter sentiment.
